MOBCARE
Home/ambulatory healthcare services based on mobile communications | |
|
|
Three demonstration systems will be set up, each requiring a set of home/ambulatory care services designed to cope with specific needs. One of these (Red Cross) is concerned with teleassistence for large populations: the efficient support of highly vulnerable user groups (people at risk, in distress or those suffering from disability). In another one (Belfast), home/telecare will be integrated in an existing community health and social system, providing support for the elderly, people with mental handicaps and people with physical disabilities. The third demonstration (Barcelona) deals with the important issue of providing efficient care to chronically ill patients, using respiratory patients as an example.
Strategic Objective:
To facilitate the introduction of home telecare services within the EU social/health care context, taking into account all critical aspects involved: 1) adequacy and cost/efficiency to the social/health care European models, which are obliged to consider the issue of re/engineering the processes “altered” by the introduction of home telecare; 2) suited to the evolving telecommunication networks and services technology to take advantage of the changing legal regulatory environment of the telecommunication in EU; all driving the idea of conforming the home telecare as Added Value Services ; 3) interest system and instrumentation providers to take advantage of competitors within this emergent market
Business Objective:
To develop and evaluate home telecare, IT&T based, social/health services, systems and instrumentation, bringing the experience and knowledge required to have, at the end of the project, well defined home telecare services, namely: a solid analysis of their viability and a reliable business plan, to initiate, if appropriate, the corresponding final definition of products and their exploitation in the market immediately concluded the project
The project has been designed to also allow mobile operators, backed by industrial companies, to address this complex market. The project collaborates closely with various health institutions, both at the strategic level to improve investments and at the exploitation level to maximise the industrial and social opportunities. In this respect two main outcomes are envisaged: the design of a mobile communication plan for home/ambulatory health care and the compilation of a detailed catalogue of various mobile user groups (both citizen and professional).
